GRDX provides security guard services in Fairfax County, including armed and unarmed officers, vehicle patrol and event security. Coverage includes the independent cities of Fairfax, Falls Church, Manassas and Manassas Park. Officers are licensed in Virginia and verified before they work a post.
Where in Fairfax we work
Our Fairfax footprint covers the whole county plus the independent cities inside it: the City of Fairfax, Falls Church, Manassas, and Manassas Park. Each has its own police department and permit rules, and we plan around that.
The busiest corridors for us are the Dulles Toll Road and Silver Line stretch through Reston and Herndon, Tysons along Route 7 and Route 123, the Fair Lakes and Fairfax Corner area off I-66, and the Route 1 corridor south of Alexandria.
Office towers and Metro-adjacent buildings
High-rise and mid-rise offices in Tysons, Reston Town Center, and Herndon need a lobby presence that looks professional and a patrol that covers parking decks. That is the most common Fairfax request we see.
Officers in Class A uniform staff front desks and loading docks, check visitors in, and walk garages on a set schedule. Buildings near Silver Line stations often add evening rounds because foot traffic shifts after commuting hours.
- Lobby and concierge-style posts
- Garage and loading dock rounds
- After-hours tenant escorts
- Fire alarm and incident reporting to management
HOAs, condos, and apartment communities
Residential work in Fairfax ranges from large associations in Burke, Kingstowne, and Fair Oaks to apartment complexes along Route 1 and Route 50. The service that fits depends on the problem the board or manager is trying to solve.
Car break-ins and pool-season trespassing usually call for vehicle patrol with GPS checkpoints. Ongoing disorder at a large apartment property may call for special police officers, who can act with arrest authority on the protected property.
Shopping centers and commercial strips
Fairfax retail runs from enclosed malls to the long strip centers on Route 1, Route 236, and Route 50. Uniformed officers during peak hours deter shoplifting and help store managers deal with problem visitors.
For property owners we also cover overnight patrol of closed centers, where dumpster areas, loading lanes, and dark storefronts attract the most trouble.
Peak-hour presence
Officers on the floor or at entrances during weekend and holiday rushes.
Overnight patrol
Marked vehicle checks of rear lanes, docks, and parking fields.
Special police
Arrest authority on the property where the owner wants it.
Security guard services we provide in Fairfax County
The right officer type in Fairfax depends on what the property faces. Unarmed officers fit most lobbies, front desks, and community patrols, where the job is to observe, report, and deter.
Armed officers make sense where cash, high-value goods, or a documented threat is present. Special police add arrest authority on the property itself, which some apartment and retail owners want after repeated trespass. We lay out the trade-offs in plain terms during the site walk so the board or owner can decide with the facts in front of them.
How a Fairfax engagement is set up
We start with a site walk, because a Tysons tower and a Lorton warehouse have nothing in common. You then get a written proposal listing posts, hours, patrol stops, and the officer profile we recommend.
Every request is answered within one business day. Once service starts, a supervisor answers the 24/7 line, and you can ask for any officer to be replaced.
Questions
Do you provide security guards in Tysons and Reston?+
Yes. Office buildings in Tysons, Reston, and Herndon are a large part of our Fairfax work. We staff lobbies, docks, and garage patrols.
Do you cover the City of Fairfax and Falls Church?+
Both are inside our footprint, along with Manassas and Manassas Park. We account for each city's own rules during planning.
Can you patrol our apartment complex at night?+
We run overnight vehicle patrol with GPS-verified stops. For properties with ongoing disorder, special police officers are another option.
Are your officers armed?+
We provide armed and unarmed officers. The site walk and your goals decide which one fits each post.
What does it cost?+
Pricing depends on posts, hours, and officer type, so we quote after the site walk in a written proposal.
